Feeling annoyed, I open my eyes and push brown-hair out of my face. I notice that I am laying in a darkened street, and the lights are on. The moon is a sliver covered by ragged clouds. I pick myself up slowly, wondering how long it has been. It can not have been that long maybe a week or a month. Not knowing what else to do, I start to walk. Hoping I will find a familiar land-mark in the maze of sky-scrapers and buildings. Something, something feels 'off' yet I can not place it.
After a while I notice a possible reason. There are only a few people out, besides myself. For some reason it was only men and women walking together. Noticing that at six feet two inches tall, I am taller than most. The ones who do not avoid me are taller than I am. Just what is going on in the Matrix ?. Surely it could not have changed so drastically in only few days or months.
A faint, rustling sound behind me and I turn to look. Everyone else who was on the street has disappeared down others. It was empty now except for me. It was probably just an animal or some trash, it was not like it could hurt me anyway. When the sound comes again it was ahead but I could not pin-point where it was coming from.
Something is following me, I still don't see anything when I turn. I start walking again and finally see an alley. Walking toward it and hearing myself sigh as I walk in. I was already turning at the soft and relieved laugh, not expecting to be pushed against the wall.
Staring in disbelief at the six-foot one vampire. At the near translucent, snake-like fangs and then past them. The features were slightly different, the black-hair is now shoulder-length and tousled. Impulsively, I want to run my fingers through it restraining myself is hard.
His cheek-bones almost seem sharper, his lips - a darker red contrasting against the fangs. They indent his bottom lip slightly. Despite those differences and the fact the dark-eyes were reflecting green, that his pupils were slitted like a poisonous snake's. "Neo ? " still slips from my lips before I can think.
He says "Smith." licking his lips and fangs, pale fingers brushing over my cheek. Find I am pushing myself into the wall even as I shiver. I know what he is doing enthralling me and damn it it's working. " I... I " for once I couldn't find the words to say.
Neo jokes "Cat or vampire ? "
I snap at him "Nothing has my tongue., " No matter how much I want you to now. "What happened to you ? How did you get changed ? "
He says a single name "Marcus Fulger."
" That... that bastard Dalca bit you, Marcus fucking Dalca. I knew I should have killed him."
He raises an eye-brow at me " Interesting. Lasciate che il flusso di sangue."
Why do I get pinned by the hungry vampire ? He tilts his head and licks his lips again. Neo dips his head leaning in, his breath warm on my throat. I hear myself groan as his lips and fangs brush my skin. A brief stinging then his tongue brushes it.
I don't expect him to say, so softly I can barely hear it, " I missed you." I lean my head back as Neo rests an ear against my throat.
